Masonry

Structural masonry is inspected and tested to ascertain that all specified conditions meet the acceptance criteria. This is achieved by visual, mechanical, nondestructive, or destructive methods. Tests are performed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI), Masonry Institute of America (MIA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the International Building Codes (IBC) testing and inspection procedures.

Reinforcing Steel Placement - Verification of the placement of reinforcing steel for size, quantity, spacing and clearance in masonry walls prior to the placement of grout.

Brick Sheer Testing - Testing of masonry in shear is performed in accordance with the Uniform Code for Building Conservation.
